Outdoor Spaces Design & Build Co LLC

Outside Spaces disposed of a wood glass railing and installed a new railing with glass and lights. I have dealt with many contractors through many years of business. I found Outdoor Spaces to be one of the best! They did an excellent job. They were unique in designing a special piece for my clothes line holder for support against the railing. They also suggested power coating the clothes line pole and the hummingbird rod. They turned out beautiful and matched the metal on the railing perfectly. The lighting that they suggested and installed is beautiful. I recommend them highly.

We had an absolutely outstanding experience all around with Outdoor Spaces starting with the initial quote all the way through completion. To start, we got about 4 or 5 quotes and their price was competitive, but that's only part of the reason we ultimately went with Outdoor Spaces. The person we worked with (Jayme) through the quote and design was very knowledgeable and confidence inspiring. For example, we wanted some extra privacy for our deck and he came with came up with a custom design for a clever curtain rail system that met some pretty specific requirements. No other contractors we talked with came anywhere close to Outdoor Spaces in this regard and we're confident that any other company could not have come up with an overall deck design that would have looked as good. There was only one item that didn't exactly as planned. Upon final inspection everything looked great except that I pointed out that the stairs were about 10 inches from where we had discussed them being in our first meeting (even though the specific location was not described in the contract). Jayme didn't even hesitate to agree to move the stairs which involved a lot of extra work on their part and required them to order new railings, etc. I have found that issues, questions, surprises are inevitably going to come up when you're having major work done. It's how Outdoor Spaces dealt with this issue that was so impressive to us. Throughout the entire process, all they cared about was making sure we were happy with our new deck and with their work. Even with minor design enhancements throughout and the stairs being moved, the subject of charging us any more money than we had originally agreed to was never raised. Ultimately, we're thrilled that we chose to work with Outdoor Spaces. We've had our deck for about 4 months now and we absolutely love it!

They did a very nice job.

Great to work with the entire time. The guys who did the tear down and construction were great and professional. Every aspect of this project was a wonderful experience. Would definitely hire again!

Top notch. A job well done and worth the significant money for an elaborate, homeowner-designed deck plan. Plenty of research, multiple quotes and opinions gathered before we decided to hire Outdoor Spaces to build the deck. I will say that the pricing is definately fair as EVERYONE came in at about the same price range. Decks are not cheap and if you are going to have a quality outdoor space (that's safe!) then be mentally prepared for this bill. Don't just hire some guy which someone knows ("oh yeah, I know a guy" or "you don't need a permit, forget them inspectors"), do it right and keep your guests and family safe. Outdoor Spaces (Jayme) is patient, knowledgeable and willing to work with you and deal with ideas/changes/multiple material choices/updates/rework and re-quotes, etc. He's got multiple crews with plenty of experience for the jobs. I told him if I look out there and something doesn't look right I'm going start asking all sorts of questions with a twitchy eye! He was fine with that, LOL. Anytime there were questions about procedure, inspection, what I wanted, whatever, Jayme and the crew were willing to explain what they were doing and why and reassure me of the desired end result. No photos to post yet. Once I transfer them onto the PC I will upload them. Chances are Jayme has or will put them on the Outdoor Spaces web site soon.

I reached out via Angie's List e-mail and the response was quick. Jayme the owner was out twice, first to look over the project and then to finalize the project. He was very easy to work with, offered good options and was not high pressure. I received a bid for the work in a timely manner. We accepted the proposal in September but because he was so busy, we agreed to wait until "off season" to do the project. It was scheduled for end of February 2018, In the meantime, our existing deck, which was rapidly deteriorating, fell to the ground. It wasn't a pretty sight. Jayme made arrangements to have that removed within a week or so which was appreciated. About a week before the project was scheduled to begin, I received a detailed e-mail from Jayme telling me exactly what would happen and asking for my permission to drop the lumber in the side yard and store the patio door and sidelights in our garage. He also gave me a timeline of when his people would show up on the site, etc. Great communication which just doesn't seem to be all that common these days. The project began exactly on the day promised in the original bid (Feb26) and his project lead Sean was at my door right on time. He also was outstanding to work with and the project went off without a hitch. I was very impressed with the build and Sean's attention to detail PLUS Sean's sincere desire to make sure everything was exactly the way I wanted it. Each morning Sean checked in with me to discuss yesterdays work and what the plan was for the current day. Any minor tweaks I requested, they did. Outdoor Spaces is an impressive company. Jayme and Sean clearly take pride in what they do and they put me first. While these guys are busy, I would tell you the final result is worth the wait. This is a first class company that I highly recommend. Can't wait for spring and summer so we can enjoy our new deck.

Outdoor spaces was flexible in allowing me to demolish an aging cedar deck, resurface with composite decking and aluminum railings (saving money overall). They performed additional foundational work to support the screened in porch, installed the hip roof, screen, gutters, fairly quickly and with great quality. Everyone was very pleasant to work with. I priced out 9 other contractors and they were the best price while allowing me to perform some of the work. I will look to them for future projects first.

Could not be more satisfied with the workmanship of outdoor spaces.

The experience was absolutely amazing. Jayme, the owner of the company, whom I met at the Home and Garden show delivered on his promises, he said I would love it. I do! The project was delayed a bit due to the intense rain we have had for several weeks, but once the project started, there was no stopping. Rick, the main builder is simply fabulous. He and his team tore down the old deck and within a week, I had a great new deck that is now maintenance free! They worked long hours and even on the weekend to catch up due to the rain. Jayme is outstanding to deal with. I had a very simple project, but he always answered my many questions and worries very promptly. I would highly recommend this company without a doubt. No high pressure sales, just honest conversations to discuss the needs and wants for the project. After seeing how great the crew who built the deck was, again, extremely hard working, I would hire again.

It went very well. My many questions were answered in a timely manner and Rick did a fabulous job on the installation. Both Jayme and Rick kept me informed about how the job was going, when they would be on the job and when they felt the job would be done. It was a great experience. Jayme even had a resolution to adding my bird feeders to the new railing. It looks great !

Look no further if you need your deck replaced! Outdoor Spaces did an incredible job on our project. Jayme was responsive from the initial phone call. He addressed all questions and concerns that we had. Rick did the actual construction of the project. He is an incredible craftsman who did not take any short cuts on this project. He also kept us advised of each day's progress, what we should expect the following day and cleaned the work site each evening. Jayme did daily on-site visits to make sure the project was proceeding according to plan. He made sure we were informed each day and what we should expect the following day. If we were not available to communicate in person, he would e-mail us. They went above and beyond on the project.

Outdoor Spaces provided one of the best contractor experience we have ever had. The highlights where: Quality, perfection!, cleanliness, non obtrusive, communication, polite, friendly, responsive, responsible, flexible and relatively fast. The key is these people specialize in decks and really know what their doing. Our end product is beautiful! After seeing our work and hearing about our experience, a neighbor called this company and is now getting deck work done as well. My wife and I highly recommend these folks!

Outdoor Spaces did an excellent job replacing my huge, old deck with new cedar decking and railing system. They also installed LED lighting on the stairs. Patrick was easy to work with, respectful and responsive. He did an excellent job with finishing tasks, that contributes to the overall appearance of this beautiful deck. I am a highly satisfied customer, and I highly recommend Outdoor Spaces!

Fantastic. Shawn did impeccable work. It truly was a pleasure to have him here.

I have left positive reviews for contractors before on Angie's List, but there hasn't been one contractor, not one, that has exceeded my expectations as Outdoor Spaces has.  From start to finish, I was treated like a prized customer.  
Our point of contact was Chris Bordonaro-- not only does he meet with potential clients to write up estimates, he also has experience building decks.  (This is an important point to consider, as some of the competition sent out sales reps who had quite obviously never swung a hammer.)  He was able to tell us on the first meeting that the old footings were structurally sound and could be used again with the rebuild project.  He also suggested which products would work the best for our North-facing, wooded backyard.  In addition to this, he never once pressured us to spend more for the fancier product.  Not once did I ever get the feeling from him that I should upgrade.  (This is also an important point, as some contractors do earn a commission off of building materials, so it's natural to want to urge a client to upgrade.)  
Chris also carried through on every single promise.  He promised an estimate in a few days, and we received the estimate via email in two business days.  He returned phone calls promptly (many contractors forget about customers) and he knew what date the project would start and when it would finish.  He was that precise!  
So on to the work:  we went with Timbertech decking-- took about 9 business days for the crew to demolish our old wooden deck and porch and replace the old wooden surfaces with composite decking.  I was kinda worried that there may be minor lawn/landscaping damage.  Because, that's how things go.  Not one thing was damaged.  Not one blade of grass was harmed.  The crew treated our property like it was their own.  And when they rebuilt the back deck, they noticed there was a missing piece of cedar siding.  So they just replaced it for us.  Without even asking.  I've seriously never had a contractor just say, "Well, it's not a big deal.  We had some siding leftover from a previous job."  
Nobody is paying me to write this glowing review.  And, if you read my former reviews, you'll note that though I usually give contractors a fair review, I've never sung anybody's praises on Angie's List like Outdoor Spaces. Hire them to redo your porch, patio, or build a pergola.  I promise you that  you will be thrilled and amazed.

Exceptional service from start to finish.  When issues were run into part way through the project every effort was made to accommodate our needs.  Could not be happier with design, quality, and execution.  Would not hesitate to suggest them to anyone for deck needs.

They were prompt, professional, and pleasant to work with. No significant complaints.

We had a terrific experience with Chris and his team.  They put in a new vinyl Timbertech Earthwood Evolutions two level deck with stairs. We used Westbury aluminum railings with a gate.  We started our project just after Labor day. Everything went smoothly. The team from Outdoor Spaces Design did a great job replacing our deck with a "newer" and "better" version that was complicated with some design changes adding a smaller additional deck, and allowed us to shorten the stairway directly down into our Yard.  Chris recommended Steve at  Autumn Oaks Landscaping to assist with replacing our paver patio and boulder retaining walls.  They coordinated the work so that everything happened when it was supposed to.  Chris also replaced both our upstairs and downstairs patio doors with great Anderson French inswing doors that are perfect for both rooms. We couldn't be happier.   The quality of work and the care given to making the end result what we wanted was awesome.  We will definitely give Chris a call when we are ready to replace our front deck.

Did a beautiful job, the workmanship was outstanding. Everything was done very professionally, the carpenters were extremely well skilled.

They had great design ideas and great information about materials, the correct materials to use. It's a gorgeous deck.

It would be very hard to describe a level of excellence above that which this job demonstrates.  Chris Bondonaro is an absolute ace at evaluating a deck (he has 11 years rebuilding them) and is absolutely straight about "needs" for the job.  He is open to making improvements and the planning of those re-design items.  The design is accomplished on a modern CAD/CAM design system and the details are very clear to the "work crew".  There are 3 crews an they all conform to the same level of excellence.  Workmanship is important and materials are equally important.  I was present for 90% of the work and saw all materials delivered.  The wood was all "select" grade.  Cedar, no knots or cracks.  The footings were poured perfectly and the construction went very efficiently.  I had occasional talks with the crew about the job and was reassured by the fact that they were as experienced as anyone could hope for.  I noticed that the carpenter had his saw set up for a PERFECT 90 degree miter ........ then covered up the joint with a plate!!!!  I would have left it out just to show what I could do.



If you want the right deck restoration, at the right price, done by real "Deck Men" .......... this is your best bet.  I'm having a landscape job done with the restoration and he can set that up after his work is finished.  I would recommend this company to my relatives ..... that says something!
